Computational predictability of time-dependent natural convection flows in enclosures (including a benchmark solution). (English) Zbl 1025.76042

Int. J. Numer. Methods Fluids 40, No. 8, 953-980 (2002).
Summary: This paper summarizes the results from a special session dedicated to understanding the fluid dynamics of the 8:1 thermally driven cavity which was held at the First MIT Conference on Computational Fluid and Solid Dynamics in June, 2001. The primary objectives for the special session were to: (1) determine the most accurate estimate of the critical Rayleigh number above which the flow is unsteady, (2) identify the correct, i.e. best time-dependent benchmark solution for the 8: 1 differentially heated cavity at particular values of the Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers, and (3) identify those methods that can reliably provide these results.
